What do you think of this album? I was surprised to see so many comments on RYM talking about how cringe they think this was.
I found it fascinating. Sure the let's say nihilist / misanthropist thoughts of the poem are, for the most part, nothing original or clever (it's pretty much the same stuff you've heard over and over through time, whether it's from cringe edgy teens or well respected writers / thinkers) but I think it's very well put in the record and it really takes you into it, you feel the atmosphere and you just flow with it, which already speaks alot of the merit of album I think. And there are also great parts in the narrative IMO, like the little part of the doll's show for example. Anyway, what do you think?

its good as hell people on rym are just pussies

I don't understand the 'its bad because its nihilistic/misanthropic' angle.
You can enjoy some total despair without losing yourself entirely in it, everyone has been there at some point in their life (if they are a good person).

Anyone that hasn't read Ligotti needs to just shut the fuck up. This album is utterly amazing and terrifying. Yes I bought it when it came out. This is not for kids on drugs. Oh wait, yes it is. Very much so.
James Phillips
Sorry kiddo. This thread isn't for you. The name of the album is literally in a copy block on the left side of the image.
Michael Smith
I hate this meme but this edit is so well done
Jackson Cook
Because it's fucking gay as shit.

No more HONKS like this. No more HONKS like that.

The children always followed him When they saw him hopping by A funny walk A funny man A funny, funny, funny man He made them laugh sometimes He made them laugh, oh yes he did He did, he did, he did, he did Oh how he made them roll One day he took them to a place He knew a special place And told them things about this world This funny, funny, funny world Which made them laugh sometimes He made them laugh, oh yes he did He did, he did, he did, he did Oh how he made them roll Then the funny man who made them laugh Sometimes he did Revealed to them his special plan His very special funny plan Knowing they would understand And maybe laugh sometimes He made them laugh Oh yes he did He did, he did, he did, he did Their eyes grew wide beneath their lids And how he made them roll

Illiterate normie detected. Say hi to yourself, Yea Forums.
Logan Butler
Shut up retard. It's called I Have a Special Plan for this World by Current 93
Dominic Morales
Nah, it's pretty unsettling. Removing Ligotti's writing from its original context makes it even more dreamlike and nightmarish. The speak and spell sample is both amusing and disturbing too.
Nathaniel Johnson
i love you
Ian Rodriguez
people who rate music on scales are retards and should be totally ignored
Jayden Long
fuck what rym thinks about this i absolutely LOVE it
Chase Gonzalez
It doesn't have to be super original for fuck sake, it's a gothic horror work by Ligotti. Why are you so insecure about your taste, user? What, are you worrying, people say it's stupid so you say it beforehand?
Angel Price
brilliant album, the poem itself alludes to a lot of interesting biblical allegory and paints a very interesting image of the apocalypse of faith in the west - mirror allegories are particularly huge
“Now”, says apostle Paul, “we see through a mirror and dimly, but at the time of glory, face to face.”
Corinthians 13:12
“All that can be is mindless mirrors Laughing and screaming as they parade about In an endless dream”
Thomas Ligotti, I Have a Special Plan for this World
other C93 collabs with Thomas Ligotti are also great - in a foreign town, in a foreign land is brilliant and the unholy city depicts a really fantastic satanic inversion of Jerusalem (as seen descending towards earth in the book of revelations -- pic semi related, shows a message from jerusalem in a dream narrative)
in short - the album depicts a satanic world as godless rather than a dull satirical inversion of christian values
